Collins Hill Park

Collins Hill Park is a 1.5 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Pine Ridge Country Club Estates, Georgia. The trail is good for all skill levels and primarily used for hiking, walking, and trail running. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

This soft trail is well maintained and wide. It had rained the day before and the vegetation was lush and the air humid. The trail itself was dry. It has a secluded feel to it even though it follows the perimeter of the athletic fields. There are several unmarked short cuts around the northernmost ball field. However, once you enter the parking lot, it may take you a few moments to find the linkup. For this reason, the Park could use a kiosk with a trail map and signage along the trail. I also had difficulty finding the actual trail head. (For some reason, I wasn’t able to pull up this trail on my mobile device.) At first, I thought the trail started to my immediate right once entering the park. There are benches and interpretive signs on a crushed stone path as you enter the park. However, this is not the trail but a short walking display about the Park’s commitment to stream and water management. I found the actual trail head off the parking lot for the basketball courts, and the trail exits at the parking lot across the road near the lake.
